4 families can chip in a couple of hundred each. It lasts for years.

Otherwise the rug doctor is like $40 a day to hire plus the defoamer stuff.

Apart from carpets and rugs, the car can be done and I was about to try it on the dog but was warned off.

Sounds like your balls deep cleaning carpets and rugs.

And they need to play the game and offer an alternative view to the mad-right media outlets. But apart from only an odd few, this last election being one, SMH editorials on election days have traditionally thrown support behind the conservative options of the day...

I would say in the 6 months or so prior to the election, the SMH went hard at scomo and the LNP ... then once the election was called they seemed to flip

i think this falls in line with the need to keep people interested - cos it makes money .... ride the "scomo sucks" wave but make the election seem close to keep people coming back in the lead up

Semantics and subjectivity. Merkins on the right would absolutely see them as lefties. I used to see them as centrists. A paper that used to report the news like the old says, but hey I view things through a different lense.

What is indisputable is that Costello's Nine Entertainment has signalled any position left of centre as being ancient history.

Sematics my arse ... you say someone/thing is a mad leftie, it implies very left .... a merkin is a merkin, but a mad merkin is a real f**king merkin

Interestingly, we had a discussion at work not so long ago and a few people in the convo fairly high up the editorial and management food chain were of the opinion the publishing arm of nine is swinging more left

Balls deep in rugs .... gotta be a euphemism

Mik was that hairy his dad used to hide him under the bed when rugs where on sale just incase.....

PM Albo quoted The Ramones and Billy Bragg in his first week.

As you were.

Talk to me when he quotes superior bands like Dragon.

I’m not sure our PM should be asking “Are you old enough for love?”

Although I suppose it’s better than him not asking the question

ScoMo can perform April Sun in Cuba (fkn clown that he is).

All good things must come to an end lads, so the golf has to be driven back to the nieces tomorrow and then I’m back on the trains to make my way home. Hopefully they will be operational this time around.

if I get three likes I’m happy to illustrate the long journey home with photos.

Thence I will offer a review of the golf mark 5 and my 5 or so weeks of automotive companionship with it in Sydney’s Wild West. The good, the bad and the ugly of this motoring icon. The mighty emission cheater.

All that I can do is compare it to the Prestige and Gods own car, the magnificent family
Camry.


For certain you get the feeling of sending arms to the Ukkies when driving it.

Bad luck, I’m including that in the tally.

There’s also the @Gronk booth to come in and he has at least a dozen followers last time I checked.

When I was looking for a new forum, Gronky invited me here, so long as I shut up and was respectful.

How did you turn MIK into a GIF?

Some funny screen shots of the Sky News screen comments this week. Particularly in the blue box bottom right of screen.
They really are salty.

 

[Gary Gutful]

This would be killing them.

Great. They get Bronie to come on to bang her chops and then Paul bangs on about what Bronie said. As long as they keep talking to themselves they’re performing a service to the broader community. They’re so pathetic, really. Ultimately they can all be buried with their microphones inserted where they belong, like some sort of modern-day Pharos transitioning into an eternal afterlife.

I wonder if anyone really watches this shit

Soon after the elections, their ratings went up but it was apparently people like me who just wanted to see their reactions, Rowan Dean was having kittens the next day he was so triggered
